Hey! Thank you for your reviews!
Sorry again that it took me so long with this chapter, but we have an almost
unbearable heat here and it is simply too warm to do anything.

The last time in TLW-The Sequel:
"Mr. Popo?" the black man spun around as he suddenly heard the voice. In front of him was standing a young woman, with shoulder-length black hair and cold black eyes, wearing a black gi.
"Who… Oh my god, you're Goku's daughter."
"So, you know me, that is good. I need your help." At that moment Pan appeared with the others behind her. "I want to go into the Room of Spirit and Time."

Chapter 8: "The Room of Spirit and Time"
"So, this is the Zed Sword," Kaioushin told Goku and Vegeta as they arrived at a huge rock, where the legendary sword was stuck in.
"Master Kaioushin, I don't believe that those lower beings would be able to pull out this sword. Not even the high Kaioushins were able to do that. It's simply im…"
"Kibito, please. I'm confident. If Goku says that his son was able to pull out the sword in the past, I'm sure that one of them can do that," Kaioushin assured his friend. "Goku, you may try, if you want." Goku nodded and flew to the top of the rock. He went Super Saiyan, grabbed the sword and pulled with all of his might at it. Eventually he succeeded and was now floating with the sword in his hands a few meters above the rock.
After he landed, he turned to the god. "Kaioushin, now I need you to make one of the hardest metals, I think it was called something like Cat Alley…" Goku said as he scratched the back of his head.
"It's Katchin Alloy. But what do you want to do with it?"
"You'll see." Kaioushin did as he was told and changed a rock into this metal. "Vegeta, please take that rock and throw it as hard as you can at this sword, I'll do the rest."
The prince walked over to the rock, picked it up and looked at it. "Kakarotto, what are you planning?"
"Vegeta, please, do it. We don't have time," Goku pleaded. Vegeta nodded and threw the rock at Goku. Goku swung the sword as hard as he could against the rock and it broke into two halves.
"Oh my god!" Kibito shouted shocked. "What have you done? You broke the holy sword!" Right after Kibito said this, another Kaioushin, just much older, appeared directly out of nowhere.
"Yahoo! I'm free!" the old guy shouted excited.

"The Room of Spirit and Time?" Faith asked. "Mom, what is that?"
Jenny simply ignored her daughter and continued talking. "It does still exist, doesn't it?" Mr. Popo nodded, surprised by the appearance of Goku's daughter. "Bring me there, now."
Mr. Popo, knowing how important it was for this world to find someone who was able to defeat Buu, sighed. Even though this woman was Goku's daughter from the other dimension, he didn't know if he could allow her to go into the room. She made a heartless impression to him, and he didn't know if he could trust her. But he decided to allow her to go into the Room of Spirit and Time, because she was a Son. "Follow me, please." With that, he walked off to the direction of the palace and Jenny followed him.
"Where's mommy going?" Michael asked worried.
Pan got down on her knees, so that she was about eye-level with the young Saiyajin. "She goes somewhere, where she can train to defeat Buu."
"All alone?"
At this question, Pan made up her mind. No, she wouldn't let Jenny go in there alone. Not in her state. She still seemed to be in some kind of shock of the loss of her family and her husband. But even though Pan lost them as well, she somehow managed to remain a cool head. "No, I will go with her. So, she wouldn't be alone."
"But Pan," Shana said worried, "as far as I know you would waste years of your life when you go into this room."
"Don't worry about that Shana. We can just go in there for 2 days, that means for the people in the room 2 years. And believe me, two years are nothing for a Saiyajin. We will be okay." Pan walked a few meters and then turned around. "I will tell Mr. Popo to bring you to a safe place on this Lookout." She waved one last time and then used the instantaneous movement to get to Jenny and Mr. Popo.
"Be careful Pan, and bring us our Jenny back," Shana whispered, when the girl was gone.
Jenny and Mr. Popo stopped in front of a door. "So, this is the Room of Spirit and Time. But remember, you can just go in there for two days, not longer."
"I know. Besides, Buu just gave me three days to get stronger."
"Okay, but I think you shouldn't go alone," Mr. Popo told her worried.
"She won't be alone. I will go with her," Pan said, as she appeared next to them. Mr. Popo stared at the girl, trying to remember, where he had seen this face before. Pan noticed that and smiled at him. "I'm Pan, daughter of Gohan."
'So this is the daughter of the Gohan of the future. I can feel that she has inherited the spirit of her grandfather. Maybe those two are really the last hope of this world,' Mr. Popo thought, as he looked up and down at the two warriors. "Okay, you can go in. But be careful."
"Don't worry. We will," Pan said. Mr. Popo opened the door for them and let them walk into the room. "And by the way. Can you bring the others somewhere safe on this lookout, so that Buu won't find them?" The black man nodded and shut the door behind them.

After the old Kaioushin calmed down and Goku and Vegeta told them the situation on earth and why they freed him, he stared intensively at the two Saiyans. Then, he sighed and shook his head. "I'm sorry, to tell you. But I can't help you."
"What?" the two Saiyajins shouted.
"It's true. I can just make someone more powerful, who still has a lot of potential power. But you two don't have it, or already learned how to use it fully, that's why I can't help you. I'm truly sorry," he told them, hanging his head.
"Too bad," Goku said disappointed.
"Too bad?" Vegeta shouted. "Too bad? Our kids will die down there and we can't do anything to prevent it? And you say too bad?"
"Vegeta, we still can try the Fusion," Goku tried to calm him down.
"That won't work," Kibito suddenly said and got the attention of the two warriors. "Have you noticed that Buu's ki got much larger since you got here?"
"What? How?" Goku asked confused.
"Kakarotto, he's right. But that's not all. The kis of the others are gone."
"Maybe they just do hide their kis," Goku said, with a bit of hope in his voice.
"Buu's much stronger. He must've absorbed them. All of them," Vegeta told him, almost in a defeated voice.
"Not all of them. There are still four kids left," the old Kaioushin told him. "I can see that they're pretty strong, but they won't be strong enough to beat Buu."
"Hey! Do you still have this sphere with which we could look down?" Goku asked.
"Sure," the old man said and materialized the sphere.
"Vegeta, it's true. It's the kids. And Shana, ChiChi and Muten Roshi. But I can't see the others."
"Damn it! He has killed them. And this world doesn't have the Dragonballs. And ours don't work here."
"No, the earth-Dragonballs are gone…" Goku said thoughtful. "But we could go to New Namek and ask them if we may use their Dragonballs to bring them back to life."
"Wait a minute. Did you just say Dragonballs?" the old man asked the two Saiyajins. "There were Dragonballs on the earth? They're just for the use of Nameks and not for merely humans."
"Kakarotto, do you know where New Namek is?" Vegeta wanted to know, ignoring the god.
"We first have to go to Kaiousama. From his planet I'll be able to find New Namek."
"You can't do that! The Dragonballs are not for you!"
"Sorry, grandpa, but this is our only hope to free the earth from Buu," Goku said confidently. "Vegeta, get a hold on me, we're going to New Namek!"

As the door closed behind them, Jenny and Pan looked at their new surroundings, where they would spend the next two years. Pan was quite impressed by what she saw and what she felt. The house looked normal, except of that everything was white in there. The gravity was also higher than usual, the air was thin and there was a drastic fluctuation of temperature. Pan looked at Jenny. Her face didn't show any emotion, as she inspected their training place. 'I hope she will just act like this for a short while.' Pan sighed, as she followed Jenny to the outside. What the girl saw there, she didn't expect. There was everything pure white. You couldn't see if there's a beginning or and ending. 'Great. And here shall I live and train for two years. I hope I won't get lost. But it's for the others and for the fate of the earth.'
"Okay, just to let you know," Jenny interrupted the girl's thoughts. "I will train with you, but as soon as you get in my way, I will train alone."
"Fine with me."
"Then let's start," Jenny said and didn't even wait for Pan to answer.
The woman powered up to SSJ2 and attacked the other Saiyajin. Pan was barely able turn SSJ in time and to dodge that attack, before Jenny began punching at her like there was no tomorrow. Pan couldn't stand long under that fire of attacks and was sent flying to the floor. As she got up, she wiped blood from her lip and stared at the woman in front of her. 'Two years.'
